The Importance of Assessment & Consultation
We’ve all been there. You’ve bought the skincare, asked your friends for their tips, and sat in the living room with a DIY face mask on - all in hopes of clearing that acne flare-up, reducing wrinkles, or calming your skin. We understand that coming into our clinic for a consultation can be intimidating at the best of times. Our skin, and our appearance in general, can be a deeply personal and sometimes emotional topic to discuss with others because it heavily impacts our confidence as individuals. It is normal to feel unsure or vulnerable in coming in for a consultation and seeking professional help for something so personal. Each one of us at Nu Image (and beyond) has been through a skin journey of our own, which is why it’s important to us as a team to create a safe and inviting space with our clinic.
At Nu Image you can feel comfortable bringing forward all of your skin concerns, troubles, and goals - free of judgement. Our team brings forth compassion and an expert understanding of your concerns which is why a consultation at Nu Image is so essential in our patient's overall experience and even results. We may be skin experts but we cannot assume the goals or concerns of anyone. Through active listening and dialogue we are able to connect with our patients and fully understand what results they want to see in order to look and feel their best.
A consultation at Nu Image provides you with the opportunity to openly discuss your concerns, and develop a real and trusted relationship with a Medical Esthetician or Injector prior to working towards your skin goals. During the initial consultation, your treater will assess your concerns and encourage you to give a detailed history of your skin and your skincare routine at home. By getting to know a patient and their routines we can build a personal connection and also better assess their skin concerns once we know more about their skin history.
In addition to carefully listening to your skin’s journey and where you want to be, we also take the time during your consultation to educate you on your skin’s condition and the right direction for treatment. When it comes to your skin, Google searches can be misleading and confusing. As a team of trained Medical Estheticians and Injectors, we want you to walk away from your consultation with a greater understanding of and appreciation for your skin, as well as an understanding of how the recommended treatments or products can help you achieve your goals. Education is part of what makes the consultation process so important. We want to help you understand your skin and what can help moving forward including treatments, skincare products or even beneficial resources outside of the Nu Image clinic (like supplements etc.).
Treatment plans, similar to skincare routines, are not one size fits all. To ensure a treatment or routine is the best fit for you as our client, it is important to have a detailed and open consultation with you about everything you are looking for in regards to your skin concerns and goals. As the expert, we take the time to truly hear each client's story, which helps us create a personalized and holistic approach to treatment.
In conjunction with complimentary consultations, you’re also welcome to come to the clinic for a follow-up after a treatment or a trial period with a recommended skincare routine. These follow up appointments allow us to check in with you and your skin and address any concerns or questions you may have regarding your new products or treatment, and point you in the right direction.
